Pakistan vs New Zealand 1st ODI LIVE Score Updates: Shaheen Shah Afridi and Abrar Ahmed took early wickets for the home side but a partnership between Kane Williamson and Dary Mitchell brought Kiwis back in the game.
Soon after Williamson got past his half-century, Afridi came back and took the prized wicket of former New Zealand skipper. Tom Latham was quick to follow the veteran batter as he lost his wicket to Haris Rauf.
Since then, Daryl Mitchell has built another partnership, this time with Glenn Phillips to get the Kiwis back on their feet and move to a total over 250 in their 50 overs.
The contest is definitely a battle of express pace attacks as both sides lack quality spinning options. Salman Ali Agha and Abrar Ahmed are the only two spin options in the Pakistan squad, while Mitchell Santner and Rachin Ravindra will be the Kiwis’ main spinners.
